Main

Simon Steiger

I currently develop interactive visualization platforms in Shiny to empower patients, doctors and industrial partners. I have a background in psychology and statistical modeling, and contributed to several interdisciplinary research projects in the past.

In my free time, I keep my statistical skills fresh by working on research projects with my friends. Feel free to have a look at my GitHub page!
